i'm trying qutecsound, an interesting front ends for csound
on mac... thanks to andres cabrera...
i have some question about it:

1. the names of the opened fles remains in the toolbar,
it seems to be not possible to delete them. so the window
became more and more large... until to fill the whole
monitor.

2. by the preset "play" run the csound 5.08, not the
latest version i installed... (which runs by the preset
"play in terminal")... is it possible to change the version
of csound? by the "play" button the sound is segmented...
i change the buffer but nothing appens...

3. in regard to exsternal programs, i put the following
path: /Applications/Soundtrack Pro.app...
when i use "ext editor" or "ext player" this strange message
apper: "the document "deskop" cound not be opened"

do you have some suggestions?
thanks
fv

These are actually tabs, the documents are still open. You can close
documents with file->close or with command+W.

QuteCsound currently uses the 5.08 API, even if 5.10 is installed.
This will be fixed in the next release. If sound is choppy usually the
problem is you need to run in a separate thread.

I suspect Soundtrack can't open audio files directly. Can you try
something like Audacity.

Andrés

hi andreas, thank you for your reply.

i tried audacity, but qutecsound can't open

the file! i get a message that it can't open 

the folder of the file. 

if these few problems will be solved, 

qutecsound could be a great solution

for many mac users. thank you very much...

i have wished an easy front end like that.

moreover, it would be nice if we have 

the choice to put the csound version we

want.

I've actually been experiencing this exact same thing with Csound GUI for Windows since 5.08. I figure it has something to do with spaces in paths but putting the path in quotations doesn't help either. Anyone know a fix? It's kind of vexing to not be able to launch a different editor directly from the GUI.

 

Thanks,

Ryan

Subject: Csound 5 GUI Paths

For those of you on Windows using Csound 5 GUI who wish to be able to edit their files in an external editor, you're going to have to edit your paths that have spaces (path to editor and file) to use the short names. These are easy to find using dir /x in cmd. The naming convention is typically the first six characters of the folder or file ending with ~1 or a successive number for each file or folder which is similiarly named.

 

EXAMPLES:

 

(C:\Program Files\This Is a Test.txt) =

C:\PROGRA~1\THISIS~1.TXT

 

(C:\Program Files\This Is a Test2.txt) =

C:\PROGRA~1\THISIS~2.TXT

 

Could getting the short name automatically from the file dialog be hacked into the code?

Hi Ryan,

Csound5GUI is abandoned right now, and quite buggy... I suggest you
try something like QuteCsound.

Cheers,
Andrés
